The patient education
interactive DVD developed for this study enlivened information
using video, audio and animation and incorporated
comprehensive video presentations on the two major dialysis
options. The interactive format used allowed patients to
choose any section for review and repeat viewing. Research
results demonstrated the ability of the DVD to help patients
with ESRD make proper decisions and reduce decision regret.
Subjects who received the DVD intervention had significantly
better knowledge scores and less uncertainty than their
control group peers.
